LAPD Rolls Out Electric Bikes

The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) is adding a fleet of 20 electric bikes as part of its ongoing green initiative. The Bulls Sentinel eBikes are capable of reaching speeds of up to 28 mph.

Bulls Bikes worked with the LAPD over a nine-month RFP process to build the bicycles to meet the needs of the department’s urban law enforcement and patrol division, according to the company. This is the largest eBike deployment in the nation.

Trucking shouldn't waste time on pipe-dreams like platooning and autonomous trucks and instead focus on improving logistics and making the trade appeal to young people, said Hendrickson's Jeff Sass while speaking at the Heavy Duty Trucking Exchange in Phoenix.
